Specific Skills Bachelors degree in any academic major or field from accredited university or a foreign equivalent degree. A foreign equivalent degree is acceptable if approved by Texas Education Agency. Valid Texas Educator Certificate in Bilingual EducationSpanish for elementary grades, or statement of eligibility for such certification from an approved Alternative Certification Program. Oral and written Spanish language proficiency is required.br Employment contingent on passing drug test.br br See section K.9 Addendum for foreign workers skills and certificationbr acquisition information.br br NOTES TO CLARIFYbr br BUSINESS NECESSITY FOR FOREIGN LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTbr Oral and written proficiency in the Spanish language is necessary because majority of the students in this teaching positions classroom speak only Spanish. Employer School District is required by Texas law to offer a bilingual education program to students of Limited English Proficiency LEP or English Learners EL in prekindergarten PreK through fifth grade. LEP or EL student is a student whose primary language is other than English and whose English language skills are such that the student has difficulty performing ordinary classwork in English. Under Texas law, a bilingual education program must be a fulltime program of duallanguage instruction that provides for learning basic skills in the primary language of the students enrolled in the program and for carefully structured and sequenced mastery of English language skills. The bilingual classrooms are typically composed entirely of English Learner students. Texas school districts must assign appropriately certified teachers to the statutorilyrequired Bilingual education programs.br Employer School District currently serves over 3,500 students in elementary grade levels through the bilingual program. The School District is in the final stages of phasing out of the LateExit Transitional bilingual model of instruction and has adopted the OneWay Dual Language Program designed to make academic content accessible to emergent bilinguals through the development of literacy and academic skills. The program develops a second language English for students while maintaining and respecting the students native language Spanish and culture. The dual language program is a bilingualbiliteracy program model in which students identified as Emergent English Bilinguals are served one day in English and the next day in the Spanish language. Since instruction in a bilingual classroom is delivered using the students native language Spanish and the target English languageknowledge of, and competency in, the Spanish language is necessary for a Bilingual educator in our School District. This language skill requirement does not sufficiently increase the seniority andor complexity of this position, as compared to other elementary school teachers. Certified Bilingual teachers serving bilingual classrooms receive a 2,500 stipend annually, in addition to base teacher salary, to account for the Spanish language requirement.br br EXPLANATION for the TEACHER CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTbr The special requirement of teacher certification in Bilingual EducationSpanish for elementary grades cannot be obtained through a reasonable period of onthejob training. The certification is required by the State of Texas prior to being able to work with public school students. Texas Education Code, at Title 2, Section 21.003a, states A person may not be employed as a teacher . . . by a school district unless the person holds an appropriate certificate or permit issued in accordance with the Texas Education Code and regulations. Our School District does not provide any onthejob training to become a certified Bilingual teacher.
